About Me

A am a certified science (and Science Fiction)nerd. So, that is what I like to talk about most of the time. I also love cooking, swing dancing and literature (mostly, but not always, science fiction and fantasy).

Diet and Exercise Part 2

If you remember my last diet and exercise post back in October, I was bragging about how my pedometer had just passed 50 miles. Well I am happy to say that I have stuck with my exercise routine, and my pedometer just broke 150 miles (yay. me!!!)

I know I mentioned in my last post how much I loved the Ultimate Pedometer GPS+ app for my IPhone. It has worked wonders for keeping me on-track with my exercise (and I'm down another 15lbs. Size 10 here I come). The best part is that, while I started just walking, I have moved up to jogging 2-3 days a week (and walking on the others). I can almost jog 2 miles without needing to stop.

In addition to the walking/jogging that I have been doing, I have also gotten much better about stretching every day. I miss being flexible and I am determined to be able to do the splits again. I have also dabbled a little with Pilates to strengthen my core, but I must confess I have not been nearly as good about that.
